Geri Halliwell spotted at Bahrain Grand Prix with Christian Horner
Geri Halliwell, 51, was seen for the first time walking hand-in-hand with husband Christian Horner at the Bahrain Grand Prix. The Spice Girl's presence comes after leaked 'sexts' allegedly sent by Horner. Body language expert Judi James claims the couple was putting on a 'PR performance'.
Denial Mission and PR Performance
Expert Judi James analyzed Geri and Horner's body language, suggesting their solidarity at the event was not sincere. Geri appeared to be making an emotional effort to look carefree and natural, while Horner seemed awkward and desired to hide. The couple's attempt to show 'loyalty and togetherness' was deemed a 'denial mission' by James.
Forced Smiles and Tension
Judi James pointed out that Geri's smile seemed forced, hinting at inner tension causing rigidity. Their body language, with hands pulled closer to Geri's body, was seen as a PR performance of 'loyalty and togetherness'. Geri, in her signature white outfit, was trying to convey a message of togetherness to the world.
Impact of the Sexting Scandal
Geri was said to have felt like a fool for trusting Horner after he downplayed the sexting claims. As Horner appeared alone at the Bahrain Grand Prix earlier, the racing chief had shrugged off the scandal. Geri was heartbroken and felt humiliated, considering her efforts in the marriage.
